Archer Addis shake-up


  After only 13 km of Au - Kreuzlingen, 2 riders got away from the peloton, which had a hard time cooperating. The two riders, Archer Addis (CSKA SOFIA) and Homero Carabali (ACAB), kept increasing their lead and it seemed like it would no end take. Late in the race, too late, the peloton started speeding up, but the victory was already in the hands of the two break awayers. When the finishing line was near, Archer Addis and Homero Carabali had a small chat before starting the sprint. Archer Addis launched the sprint, but Homero Carabali quickly passed him by looking as the winner. As Homero Carabali thought the victory was his, Archer Addis made an amazing come-back and managed to be the first rider of Au - Kreuzlingen to cross the finishing line.
As the peloton got near the end of the stage, another rider (Salvatorio Montironi from De Bitterballetjes) tried his luck for the third place. He safely created a small gap between him and the peloton, which was just enough for him to claim the third place.
Archer Addis didn't hide his happiness for winning the stage. I have dreamed of this for long. My result today proves that hard training is worth it, said the cheerful winner, who yet has no current plans for the next race to strike at.
It's good to see Archer Addis fulfilling his ambitions winning this stage. He deserves the victory more than anyone else, said the proud manager of CSKA SOFIA, Andrey Bozhilov, and continued: The team was a good support for him (Archer Addis) today, and he clearly proved his worth in the break away today.
